More quotes by Winston Churchill
I liked wine, both red and white, and especially Champagne and on very special occasions I could even drink a small glass of brandy.
Winston Churchill
Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Victory will never be found by taking the path of least resistance.
Winston Churchill
The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.
Winston Churchill
Say what you have to say and the first time you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending - sit down.
Winston Churchill
The substance of the eminent Socialist gentlemen's speech is that making a profit is a sin. It is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss!
Winston Churchill
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper-no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point.
Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
Winston Churchill
It is the English-speaking nations who, almost alone, keep alight the torch of Freedom.
Winston Churchill
If we could get out of this jam by giving up Malta and Gibraltar and some African colonies I would jump at it. But the only safe way is to convince Hitler that he cannot beat us.
Winston Churchill
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle them, and, as it were, fondle them. Let them fall open where they will. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas.
Winston Churchill
Nothing is won without enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
I'd rather spend half an hour in the company of a top carpenter, than three hours in the company of an average brain surgeon
Winston Churchill
The opposition occupies the benches in front of you, but the enemy sits behind you
Winston Churchill
It is conceivable that I might well be reborn as a Chinese coolie. In such case I should lodge a protest.
Winston Churchill
Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful.
Winston Churchill
I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
The substitution of the internal combustion engine for the horse marked a very gloomy milestone in the progress of mankind.
Winston Churchill
At the depths of that dusty soul there is nothing but abject surrender.
Winston Churchill
